Hey, I found this guide https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/maintenance-and-server-configurations/transferring-community-to-a-new-server-r20 for Transferring Community to a New Server. But it seems to be out of date. Is there a new guide? Or can anyone write down the steps I have to do? My situation is that I want to deploy local developed IPS board to a server but there are some problems with the file url's and caching files. The Data Storage Method is MySQL and Requirements are OK except cURL (not allowed by host): You do not have the cURL PHP extension loaded (or it is running a version less than 7.36) and the allow_url_fopen PHP setting …

Somehow I have edited a template which now stops record images from showing on two areas of my site. The first area is on the actual record view. The record image is not showing. The second is the category view. This is the code from the "record" template <article class='ipsContained ipsSpacer_top'> {{if $record->record_image}} <div class="cCmsRecord_image"> <img class="ipsImage" src="{$record->record_image}"> </div> {{endif}} <div> And this is the code from the 2x2 category template "recordRow" <div class='cCmsRecordImage'> <a href="{$row->url()}" title="{lang="read_mo…

Hello, I'd like to ask how can i add a music to any topic? in version IPB3 it was easy, i think you need just to enable HTML to the forum you want through ACP then post this in any topic <iframe width="0" height="0" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/N727H7afVFc?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> For example: http://gzchampions.com/topic/14938-8swc15-registration/ The music will start when you open the topic immediately. I tried to do the same thing in any topic but i couldn't and i don't know what to do, so can anyone help me with that ? And can i add a music that starts when you enter a specific forum instead of topic? if no, c…

This is for all those who have complained about this - it's been bugging me as to why this is happening, as source formatting is a default function in a download of ckeditor. I've had a bit of time today to sit down and look at it closely and here's your solution. http://ckeditor.com/addon/htmlwriter Install the 4.4.8 version of the plugin, as the CKEditor version in use on IPS4 at present is the 4.4 code line. The above plugin is included in a default download of CKEditor but is not included in the plugins IPS use by defaults. Good luck

So I had to downgrade IPB4(to mybb) before upgrading to IPB 3.X and then merging another forum into my site and then upgrading back to 4.X We are running into an issue(that didn't exist prior to downgrading) where my staff is unable to post anything without having to approve it. I looked at their usergroup settings and apparently it is fine....no setting in their usergroup that I can see forces moderation. So what is it that is causing them to have approve every topics, post and status update they do

Hi, I just can't seem to get Pages to display my News Articles from a news category as front page/blog news articles. How on earth do you do it? All I get at the moment is a list of news articles despite the database being set to show as article style. A few months ago, tech suppport due to a bug with filtering categories, managed to get them to show for me as a list, I can click on them and they display ok. It's been months since Pages was launched and as powerful and cool as it is, there are still no article templates! The guides I've seen are always OTT versions of the simple 1x2x2 and blog templates.

Loving IPB 4! Thanks for all the hard work : ). I've got two critical questions about IP.Chat: The chat window does not scale and is too small on most of my users' monitors. How can I manually increase its height? AND/OR Allow users to scale it? Is there any way for me to add avatars to the chat app, similar to in IPB 3? Similarly: possible to add bbcode support? Thank you!

I am testing IPS 4 with a test license. When I edit the theme (or indeed create a new one) the section where Logos should be entered does not include any text boxes to type into. Site logo, sharer logo and Favicon are all the same.

I really hope someone from the team reads a this time the suppport tickets ;-). After over 24 hours converting my post I am at 26% and got now the failure: 1S111/1 Invalid argument supplied for foreach() Any idea here? It's an upgrade to the 4.x version. Systemqueue Runs background queue tasks. This one is now locked Also manually doesn't work.It's the backround process converting the post and now the process is locked.
